In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of The Frequency of Love, Celeste and Dave sit down with two of their favorite humans on the planet — Laura and Dominic Magnifico. High school sweethearts with nearly three decades of love, laughter, and growth behind them, Laura and Dom share a love story that is anything but ordinary.
From Catholic school kilts and sticker-filled classrooms to landline phone calls, snowman proposals, three weddings (yes, three), and a lifetime of choosing each other through every version of themselves — this conversation is a beautiful reminder that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
If you’ve ever wondered whether real, lasting love still exists — this episode is for you
Episode Summary
Laura and Dominic met as teenagers in a Grade 10 English Media class — a class Dominic wasn’t even supposed to be in. What started with playful teasing, long curly hair, sticker bribes, and relentless persistence slowly turned into a deep friendship built on curiosity, laughter, and endless late-night conversations over landlines (and even payphones).
Throughout the conversation, Laura and Dom speak candidly about what actually sustains a long-term relationship: communication, laughter, patience, honesty, playfulness, and the willingness to jump off life’s cliffs together — even when it’s messy.
This episode is raw, funny, deeply loving, and full of wisdom for anyone navigating partnership, commitment, or the search for their soulmate.
The Heart of This Episode
Love doesn’t need to follow the “rules.”
Growth doesn’t have to pull you apart.
Hard seasons don’t mean the end.
Kindness and honesty can coexist.
Playfulness keeps love alive.
